Scaleway is a good alternative. Itโ€™s not as comprehensive as the other clouds (yet) but it has improved a lot and has good customer service.

For most services, their serverless functions, containers, NATS, RDS stuff is enough. They also provide a hosted grafana (they call it cockpit)

Their IAM needs to get more granular, I found that to be the biggest sore point.

Hard agree on IAM granularity. But breaking up things in projects limits the blast radius somewhat. They'll get there.
